One fella from the US has come out with some absolute hoots in support of the Black Fern sevens player and the straight-up GOAT - Portia Woodman-Wickliffe.
After the NZ women's sevens team played their gold-winning final at the Paris Olympics on the 31st of July, Danny from Who’s Next Sports hilariously reacted to the incredible final performance from the talented winger as she entered retirement.
“After a lengthy career, the stiff-arm assassin’s hanging it up,” the voice behind the sports page said. “Am I happy for Portia? No doubt.”
“But I’m a little upset I’m not gonna be able to see her just run through a mother F-ers face,” he added.
Danny continued to make stellar comments on the pure speed and skill Portia had shown in a highlights reel of her 12-year career.
He even got a stiff arm count going as Portia used her iconic move in multiple clips.
“The ball security, the feet, everything about it. Beautiful.”
"PORTIA, CHILLLLLL! PORTIA, PLEASE!," Danny screamed, admitting his blood pressure spiked watching every undefeated knock and tackle from the Queen of Rugby.
Portia fans have taken to the comments, with one writing: “Sorry to anyone just discovering Portia Woodman - The GOAT.”
And those who had just found out about her pure talent said: “I didn't know who Portia was, but after this video, I will never forget.”
One clip showing Portia picking up her defender is blowing commenters’ minds.
One TikTok user wrote: “Dropping the ball, picking it up, then running with someone on your shoulder is actually INSANE!”
“I literally screamed when she picked up the defender - good lord,” said another.
While a third added: “If someone picked me up and carried me after I attempted to tackle them, I’d retire right then and there.”
It's bloody great to see how Portia's game is being recognised on a global scale.
